Subject: is there a way to use *.{txt,zip,tbz,dmg} if one or more might be missing?

Message-ID: <CADjGqHvD+NwA3XxrG_OgJ06Zdi5frpVC6VCqKKZ1bWpHwtpshA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
This seems like one of those things that I might have not learned that
everyone else knows, so I thought I'd ask.
I can use this:
mv -vn *.{txt,zip,tbz,dmg} ~/dir/
to move all files that end with zip/txt/tbz/dmg to ~/dir/
BUT it will fail if it does not find at least one file with each of
those extensions.
Is there a way to do basically the same thing, but tell `mv` "if is at
least one file with any of these extensions, then move to ~/dir/" ?
I suppose I could use `find` with various `-o` flags, but I was
wondering if there was an easier way.
Thanks!
Tj
